Storck Likely To Retain Pro Grid Seat
Opposition Disappears: Marshall Is Quiet.
NEW YORK, April 13 (Uy P.).—With practically all opposition to his election eliminated, Acting President Carl Storck of the National Professional Football League was expected to return to office by a unanimous vote today as the 21st annual meeting of the football magnates entered its second session.
George Preston Marshall, owner of the Washington Redskins, who
Ss expected to assume the role of| -
chief belligerent in a reported attempt to oust Storck and present another candidate, was as quiet as Aa timid man’s footsteps as the meeting opened yesterday. He either. offered a new candidate for the Presidency nor suggested Storck’s removal. Tim Mara, : owner of the Storck New York Giants, was all for re-electing Storck and figured to furnish most of the opposition to Marshall. While Mara accepted his apparent victory quietly, Marshall left thejclosed meeting for a few moments to blithely announce that “all was harmony amongst the boys.” “We've done more on the first day of this meeting than any I ever attended before. We are even lining up. a tentative schedule for 1941.” While he had nothing but praise for the rapid manner in which the meeting so far had been conducted, " the ebullient Marshall cast no or--chids in the direction of Presiding Chairman Storck. When asked about the several reports that he had given Storck the “bird,” Mar: +. shall said: * “I think Storck is a fine executive, but I can. name a better one. However, I know of no available candidate now and I think Storck will be elected.”
Short Term Possible
The portly Storck has reigned since the death of Joe Carr nine months ago. There may be one hitch in Storck’s seemingly smooth road to the president's chair. The owners may offer him a short term which Storck would probably decline. The mounting of the dove of peace in the meeting room by “Taxidermist” Marshall was the . most important piece of work accomplished during the initial session. Only one trade was carried through, the Giants sending Ox Parry, 230-pound tackle to the Pittsburgh Steelers (nee Pirates) for the draft rights to Kay Eakins, triple-threat halfback from Arkansas. Eakins was preceded in the owners’ choice on the draft list, by George Cafego only, the country’s outstanding player last year. Eakins is expected to take the place of Ed Danowski, who has retired to a coaching position.

DES CHARGES PLOT TO SEIZE MEXICAN RULE
Declares Communists and Nazis Seek to Set Up Puppet State.
WASHINGTON, April 13 (U. P.). —Chairman Martin Dies (D. Tex.) of the House committee investigating un-American activities, charged today that Communist: and Nazi forces are plotting to “set. up a puppet government” in Mexico. He coupled the charge with a demand that the Justice Department press prosecution ‘of Communists and other alleged to have recruited Americans for service in the late Spanish civil war because, he said, the same organizations are being kept alive for future use in connection with the purported Mexican plot. Urged Prosecution
Attorney General Robert H. Jackson recently dropped prosecution of 17 persons indicted in Detroit in connection with recruiting of Americans for Spanish war service. Mr. Dies said the prosecutions should have been pressed as a deterrent against similar episodes in the future. Mr. Dies said he had information that Communists and Nazis would first seek to gain control of Mexico peaceably by winning in national elections there in July. But if this attempt fails, he added, ‘they will “turn the election .into a revolution.” : {Believes Report. True
Mr. Di#s did not say what the purpose was behind the “puppet government” plot. “Moscow and Germany,” he said, “hope to establish a puppet government in Mexico. I regard the information I have as authentic. His i information, he said, came not only from “elective officials” in Mexico, but also from “one or two United. States Senators” who did not want to reveal their names, and from many other sources.
Drowns Son
As Mercy Act
HANCOCK, Mich., April 13 (U. P.).—Abraham White, 53, - described in a shaken voice today how he submerged his 15-year-old son’s head in a tub of water and drowned him because “he was sick and blind-.and I couldn't stand to see him suffer.”
While his wife was away from their home at Atlantic a few miles south of here, White went | into the kitchen and prepared a tub of water. When the tub was) filled he led his son into the kitchen and pushed his head be‘neath the water. He held it there for several moments, he said. When Mrs. White came home she found her son’s body on the kitchen floor. She found a note near the body, readings: “Dear Mandy: Fred had a hard convulsion after you left. I'm not going to see him suffer any longer. We have prayed to the Lord to take him away but it hasn’t happened so I am going to do away with him.”

Pupils Canvass Grownups To Get Ideas on Care Of Their Yards.
One Thursday in the tag end of this winter, the Student Council at School 54, 3150 E. Tenth St. was in session and Principal George Fisher brought up the matter of neighborhood lawns. He asked the Council whether, during the approaching spring, pupils in the school would be careful of lawns and what could be done about- care of lawns. "The Council took the matter up
and realized shortly that its members knew practically nothing about the situation—knew nothing of what the owners of the lawns thought about the behavior of the pupils on their way to and from
So. it was decided that a sample poll should be taken and the girls in 8A went out in pairs March 6 and called on at least three householders in each block in the neighborhood. . All in all, they asked 106 persons this question: “Do you think the children of this community show enough respect for. lawns and other property?” Fifty-six answered “yes,” 38 answered “no,” and 12 said they didn’t know. Mr. Fisher and the Student Council were pleased that 56 should have been satisfied, and were glad to have a working knowledge of what the 38 believed was wrong. Most of them believed, the survey showed, that the younger boys were very apt to let their enthusiasm run away with them and their feet to run over lawns, causing damage. So Mr. Fisher and the student council decided to do something about it. There were a couple of

at the school for further landseap-
science classes devoted to grass— what it is and how it is cared for. Then someone got the idea that the Dearborn St. entrance to the school wasn’t quite up to snuff and the student body helped make new landscaping plans for it. - These were executed by the grounds keepers. Mr. Fisher says it’s too. early to know definitely whether the cam-
paign has brought extensive results, but he said there has been a lot of fine comment about the behavior of the boys on their way to and from school and during play time. | The Student Council meets each Thursday and considers all school problems. Mr. Fisher said he is proud of its action in this particular instance.

Kenneth Collins, war correspondent of ‘the Ethiopian and Polish

Contempaerary Club here last night, added that he wished to qualify his estimate with two “ifs.” These are: Germany will win if the Russian-German alliance does not fall apart and if the U. S. does not get into the conflict on the side of Allies. “If Germany can manage to hold what she has grabbed in Denmark and Norway to date, she will have the best military, position possible,” Mr. Collings declared. “With Norway and Denmark, Germany is attempting to protect her northern flank and if she can keep what she has she will have one solid military line from Norway to Switzerland.” The 42-year-old correspondent said he believes Germany will*hold Denmark and that the British will not be able to dislodge her from Norway, “despité the censored news stories from Europe leading Ameri-
‘| cans to believe the contrary.”
. There is a precedent for the prediction, Mr. Collings said. “It is well known that an inferior force and guns on shore can repel indefinitely superior forces and guns on attacking ships as long as the ammunition holds out.” “This was .demonstrated in the Dardanelles campaign during the last war.” There is one “if”’ to the prediction that Germany will hold her gains in Norway, he said. Germany is vulnerable to attack from the land * side if the Norwegians and Swedes organize from behind. Mr. Collings said he “fears” that
